Copying MP3 files to an MP3 Player

I have tries Winamp, MediaMonkey and WMP to transfer selected music to
my MP3 player. Whilst they are all able to do this the file transfer
rate is very slow. Drag and drop through Windows Explorer is about 10
times as fast!

Is there a way or a program (freeware) that will allow me to burn a
playlist contents directly to my MP3 player without having to go through
the Winamp, MM, WMP interface?

As a workaround I can copy the required files to a new folder then copy
the contents of that but this seems overkill for what should be a
straightforward job. I want to create the playlist and then use that to
identify the required files and to copy those files directly to my MP3
player as quickly as possible.

Yes, copy not burn - my mistake.

Excellent dadiOH, truly just what I wanted and does the job very
quickly, certainly as quick as drag'n'drop and loads faster than the
media library programs.

Consider that you may be using the wrong media library program(s).
Myself, I like simple things like MP3 database managers rather than
high falutin' "media library" managers

I use MP3Stock. There is a section on it in my dandies and some info
on a handful of others as well. I like it because it is simple and
fast. The DB can be created using the MP3 file names and/or tags but
it is an old program and only uses v1 tags. NP IMO.

The main deficiency, I think, is the lack of an innate ability to
create sub-catagories under "genre". One can work around that by
using the comment field. Another deficiency for some - not for me -
is that it plays via Winamp.http://leif.cx/software/index.htm

A program which I would seriously consider using if I were starting
over is MP3Rat but it isn't free. Not expensive, just not free.

Crashed out on my machine.

Interesting. According to their website this is being marked for 'end of
life' as from 1st February. There is the same message on the order page.
Wonder if this will be released as freeware or just abandonware?
